Auguste Clape
Discount Eligible $245.00
AT CART MAX

This is it, the culmination of three generations of dedication and devotion, and the final vintage that Pierre-Marie and Olivier saw through together, from the harvest through the blending before the bottling last year. Chapeau bas, famille Clape!

Sampling wine out of the barrel.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:

1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
